[SBB] Continuing Brant

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks,

This morning, 11/13/06, I stopped near the muni GC pond on Geng Road 
in Palo Alto to look for the rare geese seen yesterday.  Moments 
later Bob Reiling and Frank Vanslager showed up.  There were a few 
feral Canadas here, but that was about it.  Two female COMMON 
GOLDENEYES were the first I've seen this fall.  The three of us then 
walked downstream along the bike path, but there were no geese on the 
golf course.  Bob and Frank decided to head for Byxbee Park, while I 
continued on to check the pond at the end of Connor Street in East 
Palo Alto.  As I approached the pond, a small flock of Canadas flew 
out and crossed over to the golf course.  In that flock was the 
BRANT.  A few moments later, the entire flock of 60+ Canadas left to 
graze on the golf course.  When I walked back to Geng, there were two 
sizeable flocks grazing near the runway side and one included the 
Brant.  With luck, Bob and Frank saw them later.

No sign of the other rare/uncommon geese.

Bill
